Lynsey Bartilson, a talented individual, was born on July 1, 1983, in Edina, Minnesota. At the tender age of four, she and her family relocated to Los Angeles, where she would later discover her passion for the performing arts.
As a young dancer, Lynsey won her first talent competition at the age of seven, performing a solo dance routine that left the judges and audience in awe. Her early start in dance laid the foundation for her future success.
However, it was during a summer drama class that Lynsey discovered her love for comedy. Cast as the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz, despite being the smallest child in the class, she brought the character to life with her impressive comedic timing. Her portrayal of the Wicked Witch left Dorothy shaking with fear and the audience roaring with laughter.
By the age of nine, Lynsey had already begun her professional acting career, making guest appearances on television and video productions. She also continued to perform in professional musical theater productions across Los Angeles, taking on iconic roles such as Annie, Ramona Quimby, and Effie Lou in the world premiere of Amelia Bedelia.
Lynsey's impressive performances earned her a Dramalogue Award for her portrayal of Young Maxine in Situation Tragedy. She also appeared twice in the Joffrey Ballet's annual Nutcracker production, showcasing her impressive dancing skills.
When CBS sought a young triple-threat to star opposite Angela Lansbury in the Hallmark Christmas musical special, Mrs. Santa Claus, Lynsey was chosen from over 500 girls who auditioned for the part.
In addition to her acting and dancing career, Lynsey is dedicated to helping others achieve their goals. She serves as the director and choreographer for Celebrity Centre's Kids on Stage for a Better World, a program that creates positive-message benefit concerts for the disadvantaged. Under her direction, the group was awarded the Young Artists Awards Michael J. Landon Community Service Award.
Furthermore, Lynsey is the International Spokesperson for Youth for Human Rights, a organization that aims to teach youth around the globe about human rights, promoting tolerance and peace. Through her work with this organization, Lynsey hopes to inspire young people to become valuable advocates for human rights.
